Beautiful Buddhist Temple in Sarnarth
Quite a good and beautiful Buddhist Temple in Sarnath on the outskirts of Varanasi (Benaras) with the temple itself, some beautiful gardens outside and a huge statue of Buddha outside. Was quite easy to get to the Temple and get around the site not to mention the guide who took us around the site was quite informative (and explained it in English which made it more convenient as I'm not that fluent in Hindi).

Thai Temple – Another divine Buddhist site at Sarnath !
During our Varanasi trip, we went for a day trip to Sarnath . After visiting the Dhamek Stupa, our next stop was the Wat Thai Temple or popularly known as Thai Temple . This popularly known Thai Temple, the Hinayana Buddha temple was built by Thai dignitaries in 1933. It also has Thai designs and is prettily located amid lush green gardens. ???????? We entered through a beautiful gate of the temple complex and seen the the 80-foot tall image of Buddha in a standing position from a long distance . Adorned with manicured gardens, the temple is reckoned to be one of the most beautiful places to visit in Sarnath. There is a statue of a laughing Buddha just before the main Thai temple and on the right side is an enactment of Buddha delivering a sermon to his disciples. There are three other statues of Buddha in various mudras beneath a tree and colourful flowers grow around it. The Thais call it the Wat Thai Temple. There are many devotees and Buddhist monks in orange robes moving around the temple compound and paying their regards. The huge standing Buddha statue is on the left side of the temple and the construction of which is said to have taken more than a decade. There are running fountains with blooming lotus flowers before approaching the statue. A variety of flowers of various colours grow in the compound. Calm prevails in the Thai Temple which makes it feel like a very divine experience. There and no charges for entry and timings are from sunrise to sunset. There are also many shops near the entry gate of this Thai temple where you can buy souvenir related to Buddha . This is a MUST vist site in your Sarnath itinerary . I strongly recommend this place to visit at Sarnath ! ????????

A calm and charming temple with Buddhist statues
With a large and well-maintained garden surrounding the big standing Buddha and the temples. Walk slowly and enjoy the calm atmosphere. Do not miss the Tibetan and Japanese temples that are located close by.

Thai Buddhist Temple
The Thai Temple in Sarnath is a Buddhist temple. This temple and the close by 25 metre tall statue of Buddha were gifted to Sarnath from the Thai government. Set in beautifully manicured gardens and tranquil surroundings, it’s the epitome of peace. The temple is not a must-see, but the Thai temple complex is worth visiting for the serene nature of the place, especially compared to the more tourist oriented Sarnath archaeological site.
